Fernbrook School 16 Clevedon Road, The Basin, Victoria 3154

Welcome to Fernbrook School, a unique and inspiring educational institution located in the heart of Australia. At Fernbrook School, we believe that learning and teaching should go hand in hand, like a river flowing harmoniously. This philosophy is deeply rooted in the words of Loris Malaguzzi, founder of the Reggio Emilia approach, who emphasized the importance of an active and reciprocal exchange between teachers and students.

Our primary aim at Fernbrook School is to nurture and celebrate each child's individuality and strengths. We firmly believe that every child is a unique individual with their own set of talents and abilities. Our dedicated team of educators is committed to creating an environment that encourages children to be active participants in their own learning journey. We strive to foster a cooperative and collaborative learning environment, where children can freely express their ideas and engage in meaningful discussions with their peers.

At Fernbrook School, we understand the significance of child-led learning experiences. We believe that children learn best when they are allowed to explore their interests and passions. Therefore, we provide ample opportunities for child-led learning, where students can take charge of their own learning process and pursue their curiosity.

Our teaching approach at Fernbrook School follows an ongoing cycle of planning and reflection. We believe that teaching is a continuous process that requires constant evaluation and adaptation. Our dedicated team of educators regularly assesses the effectiveness of their teaching strategies and adjusts them accordingly to ensure optimal learning outcomes for each student.

We firmly believe in the power of education to ignite a fire within each child. Our aim is not to simply fill their minds with knowledge, but to spark their creativity and passion for learning. We believe that creativity is just as important as literacy and should be given the same status in education.

At Fernbrook School, our image of the child is one that is rich in potential, strength, and competency. We see each child as a powerful learner who is deeply connected to both adults and their peers. We strive to create a supportive and nurturing environment where children can thrive and reach their full potential.

Join us at Fernbrook School, where education is not just a destination, but a transformative journey. Discover the power of active and reciprocal learning, where children are encouraged to embrace their individuality and explore their passions. Together, let's embark on a journey of discovery, growth, and lifelong learning.
